Alla:

Actually I do not see him being harassed for years either. I see him being harrassed sometimes and giving back as much as he could give back. And I still do not understand what attempt to kill (quite possible as I mentioned several times, somebody who hates Snape with passion) has to do with Snape choosing to go in the Shack all on his own.

Even if it was attempt to kill without Snape it would have never happened.

Alla:
I see him as putting quite a lot of thought in being evil actually and I am not being sarcastic.

This. So much.
